The Person Who Inspired Ursula in "The Little Mermaid"

[Tomoyo Chan]

Ursula, the sea witch, was inspired by the famous drag queen Divine. The character’s larger-than-life personality and striking appearance were direct homages to Divine’s stage persona.

So cool! Ursula’s iconic look and bold personality definitely have that Divine flair. It’s amazing how animation can pay tribute to such influential figures.
